Seeing as how Detroit dosen't have a football team, I've been rooting for Denver all year.  They're playing real well right now and will be a tough matchup for anybody.  I don't see any of the remaining teams stoping the Broncos! 

Go Denver

I believe four WGD are needed.  Running four increases your chances of seeing it early, and then winning.

I'm not a huge fan of crop rotation here.  I know it can be a bomb, but I would rather see another Intuition or Lim-Dul's Vault here.

I haven't tested a build without FoW yet, but plan on doing so soon Wink.  If you're really worried about getting cards to pitch to it, try Sliver Queen over Caller of the Claw.

Running white in BUG dragon is a mistake, IMO.  Your manabase is already vulnerable, and drawing that Plains seems really bad.  Ray of Revelation can be Bazaar-ed, Compulsed, and Intuitioned into the yard to be played for its flashback cost.  With that said, I don't think the deck really needs StP, so cut the white.  Null Rods could be nice in the board, and possibly Chalice over Arcane Lab.

Here is a manabase you may be happier with:

4 Polluted Delta
4 Underground Sea
2 Tropical Island
2 Bayou
1 Swamp
1 Island

1 Lotus
1 Sol Ring
1 Mana Crypt
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Sapphire

Hope that helped

What would you be interested in reading about in the article?

1. How did you like Imperial Seal?  In my limited testing, I haven't really liked it.

2. Have you considered Burning/Death Wish as a one of to grab answers to problem cards like Arcane Lab, and also to grab another Tendrils should it be removed, or if you somehow miscalculated and lost your one copy on a Will turn that didn't finish off the opponent?

3.  How many Grim Tutors do you feel are needed?  Having access to them in the early game is obviously important, but four seems to flood your hand.  As you ran three at Chicago I'm guessing you felt that is right, but would like to hear how you settled on that.

4.  Cabal Ritual has been at times amazing, and others a bit lackluster.  I've currently switched one for the Chrome Mox in the board.  What are your opinions on this?

5.  Umm.. I guess If you could share your sideboard strategies that would be awesome.

Congrats on your placing with the deck, it looks like a blast to play.

I have to agree with Ephraim, Somnomancy just jumped off the list at me.  Dreamless Sleep and Tranceport both are pretty cool too.
